Welcome to the first SBOSE podcast of Unit 4: What’s next? This week we’re looking for answers to the question: What will universities do and look like in the future? Amy, Project Manager for Distance Education Initiative and MOOCs at Edinburgh University explores topics related to collaborative provision and the virtual university, the opportunities our networked society offers for this, and the emergence of the virtual university in our developing knowledge society.

One book that does not appear in the Unit 4 reader, but which we think is well worth a glance (despite its year of publication!) is:

Tiffin, J., & Rajasingham, L. (2003). The global virtual university. Routledge.

We hope that you enjoy the final unit of this module.
